Slow Startup / Shutdown - No Auto Refresh And Update Hangs
Oct 3, 2010I just installed a retail copy of win 7 on my laptop and have been experiencing some issues. At first everything worked fine but out of the blue my desktop/folders have not been auto-refreshing. Whenever I try to delete or create a new folder I have to manually refresh to the folder in order to view it. When shutting down my laptop it takes 5+ minutes and when my desktop is loading after booting up the laptop it takes several minutes for everything to load and for the win 7 chime.
Finally, it won't allow me to update. When I try to use the windows updater it hangs for a while on "creating restoring point" (which may be normal) but then permanently hangs on installing update 1/16 at 0%. If I try canceling the update nothing happens and even when I try to shut down the laptop it attempts to install the updates but hangs on update 1/16.
From researching these issues I've realized that the auto-refresh problem is not uncommon and has something to do with a network. This may be unrelated but these problems only started to occur when I was transferring pictures via a USB stick.
SLOW Boot And Shutdown After Forced Shutdown During Windows 7 Upgrade?
Sep 19, 2012I have a ASUS Laptop with Intel I3 processer and Windows 7 Home Premium. I recently had a forced shutdown during a Windows upgrade session. Ever since then the Boot and Shutdown times have increased to over 15 minutes. I have run the msconfig unticking all but the antivirus (Kaspersky) and it still takes >15 min to boot and Shutdown. Is there something I can do before I decide to reinstall Windows &. (I dont have a install disk.) The software came with the Computer and I have the OEM code (Bought at Best Buy)

Oct 2, 2012I went to restart after installing updates, and system was very slow to shut down, and very slow to start. I did run house call, and came up clean, also ran this one you download, but I can't find the shortcut to it, it was about 100 MB, the name was Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool, but came up clean as well.I did not time the shutdown yet, but did time the start up. If it matters it was broken down like this. It said "press escape for start up screen" for 40 seconds. Then "starting Windows" for 3 minuets.Then it said "welcome" for 40 seconds, Then a Black screen for 3 minuets. Then I got my desktop and start up sound. I was reading on line, where after a up date, something sometimes gets changed in the registry, where you have to change the Value from "1" back to "0" But that was OK. It was already at "0".I am trying to find the name of it, but of course I can not right now. Think it was "clear page file "I just now went to msconfig and the only thing new that was added was McAfee to start up, but I took it out of start up. I also have it disabled in my add ons (Firefox).Don't know if that could have been an issue, have not tried to shut down/restart yet. I have not installed any new hardware. I did put new batteries in my wireless mouse, that I don't use often. I am going to try and run CC cleaner next I guess.

Nov 18, 2011I bought this Fujitsu laptop for less than a year. Its only for my school work. It takes forever to bootup, startup and it sometime hangs when I open up a program or typing.For the bootup, it takes very long time on the window logo, after that the black screen, followed by the welcome page with the loading cursor. Each of this process take a long time. For startup, its not so long but its still quite lag. For the opening up of program and typing, everytime I open up my visual studio, it will take a long time to show up and even if it showed up, it will be "not responding".So I will have to open it a second time before I can start using itWhen I am typing my codes, it will randomly hang and show that the program is not responding. I am still able to move my cursor though.

Jul 21, 2010My computer is a Dell Inspiron Laptop with Windows 7. I just got it like a month ago. Recently it has decided to be a real bugger. Everytime I try to start it up, it either gets stuck on the "welcome" screen or advances past it and goes to a pitch black screen with just a cursor. I've also found that if I try to shut the computer down without just pressing the power button, it can't turn off.

View 4 Replies View RelatedTrying To Debug Slow Shutdown
Aug 11, 2011I'm trying to debug a slow shutdown on my laptop with an SSD.I've done the msconfig to so non-microsoft services and other startups do not start at boot but this doesn't make a big difference.One thing is that although the shutdown takes 2 minutes, and the disk activity light is pinned solid in those 2 minutes, so something is going on, I can't seem to figure out how to get information about what is going on. The big problem is that 7 seconds after the shutdown command, the event log service shuts down. After that point there are no log entries.Is there a way to configure the event log service so that it doesn't stop right after the shutdown command?If there were log entries this would probably be quick debugging.Also while I am at it, here are my theories for what is going on (1) the disk is busy in those 2 minutes doing some sort of registry backup, or (2) also running through a journaling file system log to update disk blocks to a consistent state, or (3) or running the search indexer.What does Windows 7 do to the disks when it is shutting down?

Jan 15, 2013Occasionally shutting down my computer may take thirty seconds longer than normal(which is 10 seconds). All the peripherals shut down, but the computer keeps "shutting down" for 30 more seconds. Normally peripherals shut down just a second or two before the computer itself shuts down, but here the shutdown is just really delayed.

Apr 20, 2012I have Win 7 Enterprise x64 installed for few months, and it started to clog up. When I start it up, after wallpaper shows up, hard drive starts to grind like I'm defragmenting it, and it keeps doing it for half a minute.If I try to start up firefox during those initial seconds, it works slow, and so do other programs. I have 15+ GB free on my main C drive. I thought about clean install but the pain of reinstalling the programs and settings makes me cringe so I would like to try to clean the computer up.What programs do you recommend for the job? I can check for viruses and malware with Security Essentials, are there other programs that could possibly check if I have too much startup programs, and somehow optimize Windows back?

Sep 18, 2011I have recently started experiencing abnormally slow shutdowns (it will go to the windows login screen with the shutting down message and hang there for about ~5 minutes), and random freezes on my PC. The freezes happen from things as small as moving the mouse. I run a weekly virus scan, and have come up with no viruses, though it could be something not detected by my antivirus.
The PC is less then 2 years old.

Slow System Hdd Performance After A Unexpected Shutdown
Mar 5, 2012This is something I have seen occur multiple times in 17 years of using windows, after a unexpected shutdown windows i/o performance slows right down and I still dont have the answer to it.
Today I accidently cut the power to my pc, so windows didnt crash it just lost power.
Windows took about twice as long to boot. After it had booted the system hdd was very busy doing I dont know why (wasnt superfetch or virus scanning). The i/o was used by the system process. Outlook took a looooong time to open. it then also took a very long time to close deleting the deleted emails which are usually way faster. Internet explorer took about 2 minutes to restore crashed tabs which was massive disk i/o. Opening tiny apps where the hdd light either flashes very briefly or doesnt come on at all have a noticeable 1-2 sec delay with the light on solid.
I expect after a manual defrag things will be back to normal. Dos all the prefetch data get trashed on a unexpected shutdown or something?

System Boot (Startup And Shutdown)
Nov 6, 2009I am running Windows 7 on both my new Desktop and my 2 year old laptop. My laptop was the first to receive the upgrade to 7 and has been working awesomely. The start up is phenomenal and shutdown is no hassle, however my laptop runs on the 32 bit software. Now my desktop, I just recently upgraded it to 7 last week however I haven't noticed the same performance boost as I have on my laptop. I do run 64 bit on my desktop, but I am curious as to why the shutdown and startup times are rather slow.
I have gone as far as to limit the start up programs as well as some of the boot options being the GUI boot and maximizing the number of processors that are used during startup. Sometimes even during the start up the screen goes black for a few minutes after I enter my login password. I have Intel Quad Core 2 with 8GB Ram and TB of Hard Drive space. I just don't understand why it takes much longer to start and shut down when my laptop with less performance can.

I noticed that it starts up then goes into black screen with cursor then takes another 5 seconds to completely load into windows.
